NIiiiiiice. Very nice. Good job as usual. Keep it up.

Do you take requests?

Very good, Sophih. Very good indeed. (though newbies to the site will think you're a guy with that avatar)

Could you draw a broom, if you do take requests? (gee, i wonder what trigger's request will be... Something with catgirls, I assume.)

Hey! Just becuase I say and or think about catgirls alot, doesn't mean everything has to be about them.....Though that would make the world a better place. =P

And my request would have been "Could you draw me a kickass Shenlong one please?"

It was her avatar for a bit...before she changed it.....

I think Soph should make her own topic, displaying all of her artworks. That way we can at least see them all the time.

Yeah. I've seen a lot of her art, but having it so she can display it all would be good.

Oh, Really? I thought you had a scanner at home.... Guess not. (does this mean I'm the favorite, having lots off your art?)

Maybe....i guess you. Well the scanner broke i thought i said something.

Sophih, can I see them? And if so, Swiftman, can you send some to me?
Title: look
Post by: Swiftman on June 12, 2005, 04:49:09 pm
Heh. She has them all as bitmaps. BITMAPS, I TELL YOU! Some are more than half a meg in size! I have to devout half an hour of my life everytime she sends me 3 picture. Oh, well. A half hour well used, I say.

What is worng with Bitmaps ??!!!

Post by: protoman on June 12, 2005, 09:05:23 pm
nothing except that they're huge (in file size).
Title: look
Post by: Swiftman on June 12, 2005, 09:36:51 pm
Bitmaps are the waves to the image department. Excellent quality, but largely huge. Jpegs are way better, and they are easily converted to jpeg in MS Paint, the most basic of all image programs.

So please Morrigan, have mercy on my modem!

Thank you.

Post by: Trigger on June 12, 2005, 10:41:09 pm
I say use PNG's.

Jpegs KILL the quality of the pictures, whil PNG's atleast keep them decent, and at a much smaller size. And if that doesn't work, get GIMP and turn all of them into Gifs so they'll be really small in size.

Wait... depends on which program you compress to jpg! paint comprass it like crap, though I love paint, I only convert files to jpg using Photoshop or PhotoimpactSE :) both makes files small and decent XD

and Gimp... I truly can´t use it, those floating windows in my desktop... waaaah!! >.<

I use Photoshop when I make banners and avatars. I did use Paint Shop Pro before though. Btw, what was the image size for a picture in the sign?

Post by: Swiftman on June 13, 2005, 08:01:46 am
Trigger, could MS Paints jpeg compression be any worse than bitmaps?
And yeah, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements for practically everything except working with bitmaps (Since I use my 98 SE comp all the time, and MS Paint on it can't support anything but bitmaps)
But, for some reason, evrytime I make it a png, even a gif, it's larger than a lower quality jpeg. Why is that? Look at my war machine avatar there. That's a 9 kb jpeg, but it was a 13 kb gif and a 23 kb png. The heck is with that?
Title: look
Post by: Trigger on June 13, 2005, 08:04:19 am
Maybe becuase it's like you said..."lower quality jpeg ;)

The better the quality, the bigger it gets. If you sacrafice quality for smaller size, Jpeg is the way to go. BUT if you want goo quality, and an alright filesize PNG is the good. But the best, by far, is a GOOD Gif. Decent size, and good quality.

I'm no expert really...I'm a totally newby to most things involving a computer. But as far as I can tell, there have only been differences with the colors when I turn a PNG into a GIF, when I use paint to do it. Otherwise I've never had changes with my colors.

But that may be becuase I don't have many pictures with more then 256 colors in them....

MSPaint has crappy GIF conversion, if you good a good or even decent program to compress it, then it turns out alright. And I believe GIFs can only have 256 colors, but I'm not sure, it may have changed with the Internet Mark II.

Post by: Trigger on June 13, 2005, 12:42:41 pm
Yes I know Paints Gif conversion sucks. Hence I use GIMP's. It's good enough to make sure it stays the same quality, but much less in the size department.

Post by: RobotKnight Crystal on June 13, 2005, 03:44:49 pm
hmmm during my RPG Maker time I tried PNG... it got me the exact same size as bmp O.O So I use only bmp and jpg, and for some rare occasions, gif XD

All you need is a good jpg converting program and you are done :D

My signature is a jpg 46k big :) And yet, not the image quality ;)

Post by: protoman on June 13, 2005, 04:40:52 pm
yeah, there's nothing wrong with jpegs that come from photoshop set to "high" quality (not even the file size). jpegs from paint, though ... i'll pass.

ROFL!! well said Protoman XD jpgs from paint look ugly, gifts then I really think are better avoid seeing XD

MS Paint is good for spriting, and not much else. Everything else I use Photoshop Elements for. (What does the Elements mean? What difference is there to it to normal Photoshop?)
